Your voice, but better

The sound correction function brings out your voice through the equalizer and de-esser, reducing harshness and adding warmth for a clear and professional podcast sound.

Ready to broadcast

The built-in compressor keeps your podcast sound crisp and balanced, eliminating sudden exclamations and laughter as well as whispers.
